Schnitzelbank Song Enunciation & Lyrics/Refrain Practice

[quemich]

Wird er bezahlt, dies wahrend Arbeitsstunder zu machen?

[TheBavarianInn]

From Jim - to those I have offended with my pronunciation to words in this song - SORRY. I don't speak German hardly at all so don't be offended by my effort. We sing this song with thousands of people each year at Bavarian Inn Lodge in Frankenmuth, MI USA - we have fun even if we don't have all the sounds exact.

I believe a schnitzelbank is a work bench either for whittling or cobbling.

@bchapman1234 Schnitzelbank is a carpenter's table/carving table

Hey Jim!

Nice one, I think. I heard this song in the movie Stalag 17 and youtoubed it, because it really is unknown here in Germany. But there appears one strange thing - the "langer Mann and Tannenbaum" isn´t quite a rhyme. Try it with "langer Mann - hohe Tann´" (Tann = Tanne = Tannenbaum). That is an oldfashioned expression but means the same and works better.

thank you! i am taking german classes and i decided to do a folksong on some of the research im doing in a huge report, and i hav to sing this, im not a good singer but i need this for pronounciation

[wa8rei]

you didn't answer the basic question! What in hell is a schnitzelbank? Something like Band of America? DAMIFINO.

[Magix5]

That's very good guide to spell German words. I love the american accent.

This song is not very popular in Germany. What's that word in front of "Fritz"?

[CurbsideColumn]

His horrible pronunciation is KILLING me but I wish we had those napkins for our Oktoberfest.

[muaythaimattei]

johann is a fucking idiot, i m sorry that he think´s like that.

i m from bavaria, and i found this video very amusing, and it wasn´t wrong how you´ve explained the pronounciation etc. :)

but nevertheless i have to say that it would take years to really learn the bavarian pronounciation, especially because of the "r"-pronounciation.

but good job anyway! :)

[Johann697]

you americans make a fool out of our languange,

you are a shame to the german people

just stick to english

your video sucks so bad

your pronounciation is the worst by far

i hate all you german descendants that think that you have any relation to us at all, you go around your malls saying ,,oh look at me im german" but no you're fucking not, so get over yourself and dont try to correct people shame on you for trying to misinform the people with your shit

your welcome bitch

[JoeGormanlol]

@Johann697 welcome to america.. FUCKER!

[PWangsterTV]

@Johann697 broo,... you cant say that tho... your mexican.

[TheBavarianInn]

I know my pronunciations are not correct on a few words but I needed to teach a quortet how to pronounce them who know zero German. In 30 minutes of practice I knew they could not master the proper pronunciation for Schoene, wasn't going to work when they sing fast. It is quick & down & dirty! Send me a link to a better video and I will kill my video and send people to that one! Danke Schoen!!

[xxKyriaxx]

@TheBavarianInn you post this video online, saying this is how to pronounce the German words properly - yet you pronounce them wrongly. I understand your reasons, but you're teaching under the pretense that this is the proper way to pronounce them. Even if you know the people you made this video for may not be able to learn it within 30 minutes of practice, you should still give them the chance to try. At least they may have tried and then maybe ended up saying it wrong themselves.

not the correct pronunciation, please refer to PICProds upload of the Schnitzelbank song for correct pronunciation.

You say you'll "review the proper pronunciation for the words" but your pronunciation for 'nicht' or 'schöne' or 'quer' plus a few other words is not correct actually.
